THE BOOK OF DEBORAH
Deb Practices Sublimation—Useful
Ideas for Silly Ones.
My intention to pour my woes into
poor Debbie’s patient ears was baf
fled for that morning, at least, and
I discovered, to my . astonishment,
that she had undertaken her own
cure! She was calling Ted Moore
on the phone! For golf —as
soon as he could come over! I re
proved myself thus:
“You’ve too much imagination,
Jane Lorimer! Maybe Deb isn’t go
ing to be a martyr to love after all!”
My friends smiled as she came
back to me.
“Ever hear of ‘sublimation,
Jane?” she asked.
“Surely! You substitute a useful
idea for a silly one!” I answered.
“A constructive idea for a destruc
tive one! Isn’t that right?”
“Yes! And if you’re awfully in
love, my dear, you try to think of
something very practical.”
“And sensible—like golf—l sup
pose I”
Deb nodded.
“Success to your experiment!” I
said, and I wanted to add:
“But how about Ted? He’s in love
with you, Deb. And you’re going
to save your soul at his expense!
You’re going to take your mind off
from Jim by playing golf with Ted,
as I see it, love is an exorable mon
ster, always searching for a sacrifice.
Somebody is bound to be destroyed
in the end—but why should it be
poor Ted in this case?”
Why couldn’t Deborah choose an
other victim, I wondered. She had
plenty to pick from. As I saw life,
it would have been a grand compen
sation for her to pick out —or pick on
—Paul Van Eyck, for instance.
Paul is my friend Willy’s big broth
er, and society’s pet rich bachelor the
desired son-in-law of the most am
bitious mothers of half the country.
Paul is 40, if a day, which is rea
son enough to make the debutantes
simply silly about him. He is charm
ing—l like to talk with him myself,
—and cultured to the ’nth degree, or
my husband never would overlook
his affections for the sake of his
conversation.
Paul has broken several dozen
hearts in his time, the gossips say,
and I am sure it pleased the older
matrons very much when they dis
covered that he was staying in town
to woo Deborah Burns. He was in
for retribution at last! He was
bound to lose —and everybody hoped
that he would. Bets were made at
some clubs with the odds against him.
Paul Van Eyck has acquired al
most international fame as the in
ventor and chief devotee of the most
expensive of sports. He follows a
certain temperature the year around,
sticks as close as he can to a flat
68 degrees, and travels north and
south, east and west, to find it.
Bob says that the poor old dear
had a hard time while the war lasted.
He couldn’t go to Cannes or to Cai
ro with his 37 trunks, his valet and
his secretary. Instead, he went to
Asia, which he hated. And last win-
J ter he passed at home—for the first
time in a decade.
“He’s met his Waterloo at last!”
Bob had told me. “Deborah Burns!”
“The old egotist! How dare he!
He’s twice her age!” I exclaimed.
Whereat my husband merely shrug
i ged his shoulders!
“I guess you men do not look upon
love as we women do!” I shrugged
my own shoulders. I realized that I
was just beginning to learn some
things about Bob. Sometimes he
doesn’t seem to be responsible at all
for the—the quality of his opinions.
And sometimes —Bob is so inter
ested in me that he wouldn’t leave
me for a combination of Minerva,
Juno and Venus! And' sometimes
well, I’d be sorry to take a chance
on Venus alone!
